Looks like I've let myself in for a world of financial and physical pain!

I use zaino clear seal on mine as well as the lights and most other plastic, makes it easy to get the dead flies off...... use it on my wheels too although intend to try the gtechniq c5 for next year on them when they're off for the winter

Blackhole is good, but I've gone over to using Wet Glaze 2.0 recently, which gives an even better finish IMHO.

Wet Glaze 2.0 | Wax Attack

I'm looking forward to trying in on my black RS2000 when it's back on the road as it did such a great job on my metallic blue Z3.

I agree with Mr Incredible, it  can work out very expensive, though I've built up my collection over the years rather than in one hit. I try not to buy something new until I've used up what I'm currently using (except the Wet Glaze funnily enough). Some detailers seem to have 5 or 6 of everything.

Geez, this thread is killing my Thanks ratio!!   

Mr Incredible

Do you wax or seal on top of the wet glaze?

Meguiars used to do a 3 stage cleaning system (im sure i bought mine on ebay) it came with applicator pads and clay bar.

It came with a paint cleaner, a polish and the final stage was a canuba wax, this was so much work to apply but water beaded for about two months afterwards!

Still for my every week polish tech wax couldnt be beaten (wasnt going near swissol)
